Condition OF Tho River.

Yesterday was another cold day, and q
quantity OF ice accumulated Ia the river
below MayO's bridge. AS the large pieces
and smaller particles, which were as clear
IS cry stai, 1oated under the Free bridge,
and the rays Of the sun sbone upon them,
quite beautiful spectacle was presented
The weather moderated toward night, and
the probability Is that there will not be
sufficient accumulation OF ice to seriously
interfere with navigation on the James.
The ice on the reservoir lake and Other
ponds around the city was in good condi'
ton for skating, and many availed them
selves Of the opportunity to enjoy the sport
The ice on the basin was not good; never
theless there were those who would ven.
turh on ii where the water could not bC
seen. No accidents reported.

yerius. Dispatch reporter was sent 10 In
teryiew them. he found the mountains
covered with ice and snow and the trees
and houses dripping with iclcIcs.
A MllIboro' gentleman said 10 the scribe: /:
"This Is the coolest morning we have had
this winter. II you cross the mountains
you will freeze. You had better put il of
later"
"Thanks," said the Richmond man,
al am warmly clad; l will try 1t; good
byel" and the Dispatch reporter then
mounted his horse, passed over the
mountain road, which was covered with
ice and sleet and crossed the
Cowpasture river, riding on The ice. When
he was about half way over and the horses
feet began TO slip. the reporter began 10 re-
gret his rash undertaking. Not know
ing the thickness OF the ice, he did
not feel sure that be would not go
through. So one can imagine his re.
lief when he landed safely on The
Opposite bank. Here he took bird'seye
view Of the last home Of Lillian Madison
the Old-fashioned country residence OF Mrs.
Dickenson, her valued friend, and OF the
post Office where Lillian was seen 10 mail
her letters, and the little log.cabin school
house on the river side, with its doors
closed. Soon was passed the little brick
church. Windy Cave, where she wor-
shipped.
MISS KENNEY.
A mile or two further on, in Rattlesnake
Hollow, is the home OF Miss Ella Kenney.

at the door, which was opened by Miss
Ella.

Yes; | remember that before she

took out OF it a small paper-box, which
contained vlsiting.cards, pieces OF ribbon,
